EDIT: 2018 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ Z71 5.3L Crew Cab short bed

 

As the title suggests, I've got a ton of issues that I feel may be one simple cause, but can't narrow it down yet. It all started about 2 years ago when my truck was hit by a drunk driver while I was turning into my driveway. Luckily I managed to get most of the way into my driveway so it hit part of my truck bed and destroyed the rear bumper.

 

Insurance paid out like it was supposed to and the shop repaired everything, or so I thought. They were friends of a friend so I took their word when they told me I needed to have a dealership reset the ABS/traction control lights. Anyways, long story short it took me a while to get around to it, only to find out that the ABS system self checks each time the vehicle is started, so I got conned out of something, but it's been so long now, it's my problem..

 

I decided to look into it myself and bought a decent scanner that detects both OBD and ABS information. Here are the three codes I received:

 

C0050-04 - Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit - Open

U0077-00 Control Module Communication Chassis Expansion CAN Bus Off

U0126-00 Lost Communication with Steering Wheel Angle Sensor Module

 

When I start my vehicle, the parking assist light in the console flashes on for a few seconds, then off. Followed by the ABS light and traction control lights staying on, as well as a pop up telling me stabilitrak was off and the parking assist was off. Pressing the button to turn parking assist on does nothing. Normally it would beep when you get too close and show the forward bars to show how close you are. The rear camera still works, but I'm getting no alerts, it's essentially disabled like it states.

 

I'm assuming all of this is tied into one issue, but I just can't isolate it yet. I was hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction of what may be causing all of these issues. I checked all the wiring that I could physically get to and all of the looms like good, all of the wheel sensor wiring looks fine. I also found this link in my google escapade and checked these locations, and best I could tell the looms are virtually untouched. They're still fully surrounded and protected by the wire loom plastic.

Any thoughts on what may be causing all of these issues, or some suggestions to test and isolate the cause?

 

Thanks in advance,

One confused Firefighter...

Any resolution to this problem?  My 2014 just started doing the same thing on a road trip over the weekend.  The errors show up while driving, but when I turn off the truck and start it up they are gone.

    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
